    A wonderful holiday at Sandi's house! Everything was perfect and Sandi was a marvellous host - friendly, helpful and considerate. The games room was a great feature and was well used by our grandson ( age 8). The house was very well equipped with everything that was needed. The view from the main balcony was wonderful and it was great to see the variety of birds and the manatees ( through the binoculars provided!). For us Brits, the large/best beaches were a good car ride away but well worth the effort. This is certainly the best rental that we have ever experienced and we have rented in Europe, USA and Asia. We would totally recommend this house and would certainly return if we come back to this area of Florida again. Thank you Sandi for making our holiday so enjoyable! Simon Brown, London UK

    We felt very welcome here. Loved the game room and pet friendly accommodation. I loved watching the manatees everyday. Memorable trip for the whole family.

    We were in town for a long weekend for a family event and the house was perfect for our needs. Our 2 teenage boys, loved the game room and the kayaks! The house was clean and exactly as described and Sandi couldn't have been any friendlier. She was proactive, provided an easy check-in experience and was quick to respond. We saw plenty of wildlife from the house but didn't have any luck with the manatees. Thankfully Airpeka Adventures is right across the canal and was able to take us on a 2 hrs ride where we saw dozens of Manatees and dolphins.

    The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. Being on the water was amazing. We saw manatees everyday. The kayaks were great. We paddled out to the gulf very easy and saw dolphins there. The kids loved the game room and we ended every day playing Pool and Pac-Man. I didn't win either. Lol. There was room in the drive for two trucks and a 22 foot boat. This place had it all.

    We truly enjoyed our time at Rocks Retreat. The home was clean and spacious. The two balconies were great. We got to fish , make smores and visit with masters on the backyard beach. The game room was a hit for all of us. The host was phenomenal as well as maintenance, after it rained he came quickly and cleaned the water out of the boats for us! We really enjoyed kayaking and going out in the boat. We will definitely return.

    We had a great stay and loved using the kayaks and paddle boat. It was so peaceful and enjoyed the fire pit and beach area as well. We saw birds, manatees and an alligator with beautiful views from the balcony. We would definitely stay there again!

    If you’re looking for quiet look at old Florida this is it! Sandi, the host is amazing! Anything you need she’s on it! The house is situated on some back water coming off the gulf. We were able to watch manitees and dolphins while having morning coffee on the upstairs patio! Aripeka is off the main road, but close enough to some fine dining, fun bars and shopping.We enjoyed the outside bar and were even able to fish, never know what you’ll catch!. This was our third year renting this house and enjoyed everything this house has to offer!

    Beautiful home. Well stocked and the host was amazing with anything needed. We stayed for a month visiting family. Had everything we needed to host dinner for a large group. Watch out for stray dogs in the neighborhood if you’re traveling with a pet.
